‘Su­nil told me he won’t re­turn on Kapil’s show’

Looks like one should give up all ex­pec­ta­tions of a patch-up be­tween co­me­di­ans Kapil Sharma and Su­nil Grover. Co­me­dian Raju Sri­vas­tava, who was try­ing to me­di­ate be­tween the two, says Su­nil is de­ter­mined he will not col­lab­o­rate with Kapil again. “I met Su­nil re­cently. He was shoot­ing for In­dian Idol right next to where we were shoot­ing for our show. He told me, ‘Raju Bhai, you know me since so long. It’s not like I’m ar­ro­gant ya mu­jhe koi pop­u­lar­ity ka nasha hua hai. But mere saath bahut galat hua hai (I’ve been wronged). I’ll not come back on the show. Agar Kapil sud­har jaye, phir bhi main va­pis nai aaunga (Even if Kapil mends his ways, I won’t re­turn),’” shares Raju.

Kapil and Su­nil had a spat on their re­turn flight from Aus­tralia, mid-March. Kapil had al­legedly slapped Su­nil, who then ended ties with The Kapil Sharma Show.

Although Kapil and Su­nil were shoot­ing in nearby lo­ca­tions for their re­spec­tive shows, they didn’t meet. “At least, not in front of me,” adds Raju.
